The Assassin Pawn has been detected and is about to be captured. I need a sacrifice shouts the Assassin.} 4. Bf1c4 Nd5b6 5. Bc4xf7 Ke8xf7 6. Nf3g5 Kf7g8 7.

Now an Assassin Combination .

[FEN "8/2p3p1/3k2pp/1p2p3/1P6/3PP2P/1PP3P1/6K1 b - - 0 1"] {Can you see the Candidate Assassin?} 1... Kd5 2. e4+ Kd4 {OOPS! Black steps into web. There is no escape. The Assassin sits on c2 and sharpens his knife.} 3. Kf2 g5 4. Ke2 c6 5. c3 {Checkmate.}
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 {The Assassin pawn takes the fight to the enemy.} 3. Nxe5 fxe4 {This is bad. The Assassin pawn is just itching to fight. 3....Qf6 (best), 3...Qe7, 3...Nc6 3....Nf6 are better.} 4. Qh5+ g6 5. Nxg6 Nf6 6. Qe5+ Be7 7. Nxh8 Nc6 8. Qb5 {The first ray of hope. 8.Qg3 was better.} 8... d5 9. b3 {White is in relaxed mode. He is a Rook up but lagging in the development and his Queen is a developing target. Black often wins Latvians because White wins material and then waits for the game to win itself.} 9... a6 10.

And this next one is just plain daft.
Black attacks White with his Kingside pawns and a lone Bishop.
The Assassin starts of h7 and 15 moves later he strikes.
[FEN "8/1pp5/4k3/pK6/8/P1P5/1P6/8 b - - 0 1"] 1... Kd5 {Now White should not take the a-pawn but play 2.a4.} 2. Kxa5 Kc4 {Again White should play 3.a4 with a draw. Instead...} 3. Ka4 b6 {Black creates an Assassin } 4. b4 c6 {Assassin Zugzwang!} 5. b5 {The only legal move.} 5...cxb5
We end with a cartoon Assassin.

Black is getting mated here no matter what he does.
He decides to enter the Black Museum. 1….g5
2.hxg6 ep Mate. You don’t see an En Passant Mate everyday.
And only an Assassin can do that.
